A quantum animal, toothless and old, tries to break free from the electrical zoo cell in which the bees have kept it for almost 20 years now, feeding it a correct diet, but denying it a mate, and forcing it to stand and be stared at five days out of six (they have a six day week on this planet, which is a bit closer to its sun than Earth is). Actually, this effort has become its signature behavior, repeated minute after minute, hour after hour, something that all the visitors to the zoo get to see.     They would show me my victim at the moment of the kill.
